What are you running to get one a week? I can barely get one a month LOL with 2 FC's running for them.

We had six subs farming DSS7 doing a trip that took almost exactly 24 hours. Each ship was capable of getting two hits per stop (though the second hit on DSS7 is never better than 60% successful at finding something, grumble.) So that's 42 tries each week. The drop rate is about 1/50 so we're close to what you'd expect. Our ships were CUUC and CUSC builds.

In order to exchange to the new framed components, do we have to craft new ones to exchange? Or is there a way that we can take the existing ones off the subs?

You'd have to have a part to swap it with first.

Two of my submarines returned from Sunken Vault, one unlocked the new map and the other one didn't, so it's not guaranteed.

EDIT: even though my second submarine didn't get a message saying it unlocked the new map I'm able to deploy it there anyway.

Once you unlock a sector, all subs with the rank/stats needed to travel to that sector can then go there.

So I need to have at least 1 set of spare parts first. And do the frame parts have better stats than the normal ones? or are they only used as mats for the new sub parts?

The frames are an ingredient, unable to fit on a sub. You can dismantle your sub and lose its rank, otherwise yes, you need a spare set of sub parts.

i'm confused - it said the question was answered where coco lumber comes from? what sector? or is from the new map?

also I'm still confused about frames. so how do they work? you hand in a part and get a frame, but is that frame a part that makes up a sub? or do you have make something else from the company craft workshop to use it?

The later.
You trade a ship or sub part for a frame. That frame is not itself a ship/sub part, but a fabrication material. You then use the frame and several other crafting mats to fabricate a new ship/sub part in your workshop. (The new part you make using the frame will have better stats than the initial part you traded in for the frame.)

is that where the new schematic comes in?

also still need answer on coco lumber?

Discovered pure titanium ore from South Isle of Zozonan. Rating was S, surveillance is base 150, bonus is currently 2 but I'm not sure what it was before leveling up (ship is currently rank 52, I believe it was 50 when deployed, so bonus was likely 0). Also got slabs of hard mudstone, truegold sand, and earth crystals from that location.

Results from my first set of returns from Zozonan:










On hitting level 53, my subs gained +1 Speed, +1 Range, and +1 "Guardian Favor" ( Guardian? Eh?). My subs also found a new sector, "The Wreckage of the Windwalker" off of Zozonan.

Subs were all CUYC builds.

Oh just checked and "Pure Titanium Ore" is NOT the same as "Titanium Ore". The "pure" stuff is a new mat needed to make metal that almost certainly will be used in the new sub parts. It take 9 coke per piece too because of course it does.
